I'm just as sure as you say that sol is still just pending achieving renewable ATH, and will continue to work towards achieving it.
if we look at the chart on CG it is clear that the sol in October is better than the increase from bitcoin, this clearly indicates that there is a direction to the positive.
if bitcoin will increase again after the current correction, then it is certain that the sol will be able to reach towards renewable ATH. it is only a matter of time that soles will be able to do that and they will always remain a very attractive investment.
For me SOL didn't fail to break it's recent ATH because this altcoin is just on it's way to attain it. If we were going to look at the market movement of SOL today, the movement indicates a healthy correction for the token and it only takes a day for this token for a rapid correction and now it is pumping again. I regret my decision to withdraw my investment in SOL after I get a good profit out of my investment last time believing that SOL will only sit at the highest of $205 that time. Now, it is still good to invest in SOL.
